A Study in Projection: Responding to JD Hall

, , Offense, Personal, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Tis the season to have to respond to another low in internet “polemics,” and so we did, responding to JD Hall’s show, which featured a picture he trolled from my social media feed, “James White is What Would Happen if Ignorance and Arrogance Had a Love Child.” Yep, that’s the title, and the substance matched the same level of childishness.

Thoughts on Thanksgiving, a Bit More Cone, Matt Hall and CRT

, , Christian Worldview, Godly Disciplines, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, The Dividing Line

Well Thanksgiving is coming up so we spent some time talking about thanks, contentment, etc., from a biblical perspective. Then we moved back to reading a bit from James Cone, made application to Talbert Swan, and then moved from there to an article recently posted from Dr. Matt Hall at SBTS regarding “racial reconciliation.” We asked some honest questions of

Difficult Days for Rome’s Apologists, the Words of James Cone, Unvarnished

, , Racialism, Roman Catholicism, The Dividing Line

Started off with a discussion of the quandary faced by Rome’s apologists today as they deal with the reality of an unorthodox Pope. Sort of makes their arguments against sola scriptura just a tad vacuous. Then we moved over to looking at the reality that men like Bishop Talbert Swan, who throw around accusations of racism and white supremacy with

Brief Thoughts on the Ehrman/Williams Dialogue and the Licona/Howe Dialogue, Then Open Phones

, , Atheism, Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Pauline Studies, Racialism, Roman Catholicism, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line

I guess inerrancy was the theme in looking at just a few portions of the discussion between Peter Williams and Bart Ehrman on Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable program and then Mike Licona’s discussion with Richard Howe. After that we tried to sneak callers in for the last 15 minutes…and ended up going half an hour, so, 75 minutes total.

, , Church History, Exegesis, Homosexuality, Pauline Studies, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters, TROnlyism

Started off with the outrageous, racist rants of “His Grace, the Right Reverend Bishop Talbert Wesley Swan II” (straight from his wikipedia page) and his swinging the club of “white supremacy” at anyone or anything, logic, rationality and truth notwithstanding. Then we considered the advice of the left edge of evangelicalism’s fall into the morass of cultural confusion, this time

Gender Care, Text and Canon Conference Reviewed

, , CBGM, Church History, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

Took just a few minutes at the start to talk about a recent court case in which a judge overturned a Trump administration protection of the freedom of conscience amongst medical professionals and institutions and in so doing used yet another NewSpeak term, “Gender Care,” a euphemism for “bodily mutilation.” Then I went over Ephesians 3:9 and the blatant error

, , CBGM, Hebrew Israelism, Islam, King James Onlyism, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Reformed Baptist Issues, Technology, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, TROnlyism

As was needed I responded to the slanderous misuse of a video clip by Eric Mason, author of Woke Church, for the first hour or so today, including the playing of the entire context from the July 26, 2016 Dividing Line from which he took his clip. A wide ranging discussion about the woke church, critical theory, identity politics, and

Had some fun with a new video from Gene Kim, played a new RFG intro, looked a little at Steven Anderson and the TRTrads, delving into issues of textual criticism, the transmission of the text, etc. Then for the last 20 minutes or so transitioned into an important discussion about the supernatural and the life of the Bible-believing, sola scriptura

Took the time to go through the entirety of David Allen’s section on Romans 8:32-34 from both of his published books and to interact with his claims regarding particular redemption. Then we moved on (after about an hour) to talk about Doug Wilson, Federal Visionism, and related topics. About 95 minutes today.

Go Home, Trans-Madness, Australia Report

, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Islam, Persecution, Personal, Post-Evangelicalism, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, The Dividing Line

Decided to do a program about 15 hours after getting home from Australia, so I hope I made some sense! Seemed OK to me anyway! Talked about the explosion of egalitarianism in light of the “go home” controversy first, then moved on to developments in the transgender movement’s attempts to destroy any meaningful understanding of sexuality and gender. Eventually got

Rhys McKinnon and the War on Words

, , Christian Worldview, Homosexuality, Post-Evangelicalism, Uncategorized

Take a look at this article. Let’s start out with some truth: American Dawn Orwick is the proper, logical, truthful 35-39 year old sprint champion. Rhys McKinnon, a biological male, is a radical (and very aggressive) advocate for the destruction of logic and science in sports who has taken advantage of the current cultural madness to collect for himself a

1 Peter 3:15 and then David and Bathsheba

, , CBGM, Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Racialism, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, The Dividing Line, Theology Matters

Since I had travel problems yesterday I decided to sneak one more program in before I (Lord willing) fly out this afternoon. Talked a little about the textual variant at 1 Peter 3:15 and then moved on to the controversy that has arisen regarding the assertion that one must see David as a “rapist” regarding Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12, Psalm

Reported on the past week up in Salt Lake City, the witnessing at the Conference, and the two debates and one dialogue as well. Lots of background information and side stories! Then at the end I looked at the result of the “hug heard round the world” in Dallas and the entire mantra of “black forgiveness,” looking at James Cone’s

Two part program, basically, with the first including the complete airing of a new video promoting the “& Movement” regarding abortion and social justice.

This is a 90 minute examination of the background, history, and data regarding the famed “Comma Johanneum,” 1 John 5:7 in the King James Version of the Bible.

, , Abortion, CBGM, Christian Worldview, Exegesis, General Apologetics, Homosexuality, Reformed Apologetics, Textual Issues, TROnlyism

In light of all of the hoopla about kids marching around wishing the planet would freeze up, we talked a bit about how this new religion is just a manifestation of the Culture of Death. Then I dove deep into a response to Chris Thomas on Luke 23:34 and then transitioned into a response to Taylor DeSoto and his blog
